Magical Escapes wins the 2011 WeddingWire Bride's Choice Award

Feb. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, is thrilled to announce Magical Escapes Vacations has been selected to receive the prestigious annual WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2011 for Honeymoons and Destination Weddings!

Recognition for the Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2011 is determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 750,000 WeddingWire newlyweds. Our past clients are among those that shared their experiences on WeddingWire, the largest wedding review site in the nation.

Magical Escapes stands among the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire community, representing quality and service excellence within the wedding industry. Awards were given to the top wedding professionals across 20 service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers, and were based on the overall professional achievements throughout the past year.  Magical Escapes was the only Travel Agency in the Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts (Providence & New Bedford regions) to receive this award, and was one of only two Travel Agencies throughout Massachusetts to be so recognized.

“WeddingWire is honored to celebrate the success of the top-rated wedding professionals within the WeddingWire community,” said Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “With the annual Bride’s Choice Awards™ program, WeddingWire has the unique opportunity to recognize the best wedding professionals across the US and Canada.

We are happy to announce that Magical Escapes is among the very best Travel Agency and Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist within the WeddingWire Network, which includes leading wedding planning sites WeddingWire, Martha Stewart Weddings, Project Wedding and Weddingbee. We would like to thank our past newlyweds for nominating us to receive the Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2011.
